Eat nothing, how quickly will I loose weight?
My new medication is making it nearly impossible to eat. I used to drink about 48 oz. of water daily, but now I can hardly drink. I am able to stay hydrated, but it takes a lot of effort. I’ve been sipping broths and V8 when I can. Since the medication is not for weight loss, I wondered how much weight I might be loosing. I’m already thin, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a calorie/weight loss calculator, or could share personal experiences of loosing weight this way and possibly the pace at which it happened. Thanks.

Initially you will lose weight, but after some time your metabolic rate will decrease to match the reduced calorie intake. From http://toloseweight.org

Starvation not only makes you loose fat but most importantly muscle. This is something you dont want to do. Diet and exercise is the way to go. Most people average 1-2 lbs a week by proper diet and exercise
